Not Hydrapeak but works well

So is this just for a storage container or is it actually good for retaining cold temperatures? Do you test it for temperature variances? Not every flask is good for keeping cold temps.

PS did you take your name from THE Dilbert? I love that cartoon

Thats for the hydropeak thermos. I have actually already printed that exact set out for mine. Love it!

If you ever want/need help picking one out or troubleshooting it, I am happy to help. I teach 3d printing for a living.

Are there any small ones that are with it? Space is very limited when you live on a boat. But it would be cool to print an emergency part or piece to temporarily fix a problem

there are some small form factor ones that are very good. But small is relative. How much space are we talking? Take a look at the Bambu Labs A1 mini or the Flash Forge AD5X.

I'm going to look into them, thanks

My Son has Bambu Labs A1mini also and we printed for a year almost everything on it. Then there was a good price for the A1 and I bought it for me. Now we have two 😉 But on a boat there could be an issue with the moisture of the filament, some of them suck in the moisture and then the printing fails or there could be errors in the surfaces of the printed goods.

Aw, good info. Thank you for telling me that. It is definitely high humidity in here.

Very true that all filaments are hydroscopic. Some more than others. If you plan on any of your prints living out in the elements, especially under the direct sun, you will want a printer capable of printing in ABS or ASA. If your prints will reside indoors, regular PLA or PETG will work just fine. PLA is pretty humidity resistant (though I have never tried it on a sailboat). ABS and ASA are extremely hydroscopic, so you would need to use a dryer box to help keep them from absorbing much. I can go on and on for days about this, but don't want to bore you. lol. Feel free to DM me if you have more questions or concerns. Happy to help.

It may not be a feasible idea while on the boat. Space requirements and moisture levels will probably cause issues. I'm still gonna research these because my mom has plenty of room at her house....lol

I know of some fancy tricks to mitigate the moisture issues. But space would definitely be a factor.

I may have to hire you one day for some random piece that breaks, everything breaks on a boat....everything. Lol

In our small sail boat the whole ceiling is coming down it was glued 1973 and now it comes down. We have no Idea, which type of glue we can use, that it will stuck there again 🤣

For the printer filament I have a small dryer, because in summer time it is pretty moist in the basement. In winter no problem because of low humidity because of heating and dry winter air.

What type of headliner? Vinyl, cloth? I know of a few good adhesives that hold up very well in the marine environment.

I found a food thermos on temu, it has 4 equal size containers in it. The containers are the perfect height for 3ml vials (just leave out the stainless liner bowl) and each container has a water tight gasketed lid. I found that 37 vials fit perfectly with no movement. That gives a total of 148 vials that can be stored. I filled one tray and almost a second, I stuffed a paper towel in there to fill the void as I wait for my next delivery. The thermos itself is stainless double walled with leakproof lid. It was $20 and it's pretty heavy made. It came with a shoulder strap but don’t really need that for freezer storage. Anyway, just wanted to share with you guys.

Sorry for the woobie pics but I'm nursing my knee injury so I was resting on the couch when Iwas getting these pics
